What is a Figma?

Figma (フィグマ) is a series of Japanese action figures produced by Max Factory and distributed by Good Smile Company. The goal of Figma is to create super-sized portable figures of anything from celebrities, to Japanese anime series. Figmas include various accessories, interchangeable faces, and other optional parts. Some famous Figma figures include Vocaloid, Zelda, and Metroid characters. There's also a Figma of Micheal Jackson "the king of pop."

What's the difference between a Figma and a common Figure?

The main difference is that Figma figures come in a package with their production number, several interchangeable faces, and also have more joints than other figures on the market.

Purchasing Authentic Figma Figures

As previously mentioned Figma is distributed by the Good Smile Company, a Japanese company. Figma figures are therefore are all from Japan. There are hundreds of stores in Japan that sale Figma figures, but it is necessary to have an address in Japan to receive them, and they do not accept foreign credit cards. In this case, a proxy service like ZenMarket is useful to help you purchase almost anything including Figma figures from Japan.

How to tell whether a Figma is authentic:

Figma imitations are easily identifiable due to their lack of details and poor colour work. Unfortunately, unless the seller includes high-res photos before sending you your Figma, it is very difficult to know whether it is authentic or not. The best way to make sure that your Figma is authentic is by buying it from Japan and not from China. With ZenMarket you can buy Figma figures directly from Japanese stores, including AmiAmi (one of the most reliable Figma sellers in the world).
